WHERE HEARST HEADS IN.
One of the beauties of that postal law
requiring publications to publish the
names of stockholders, bondholders
and mortgagees is that it gives the
public a line on what influences are
back of a newspaper or magazine
sometimes.
Hearst's Magazine for June pub
lishes a statement which gives the
names of "known bondholders, mort
gagees and other security holders,
holding one per cent or more of the
total amount of bonds, mortgages or
other securities, as follows:
Columbia Trust Co., 60 Broadway,
N. Y. City; M. V. Hearst, 137 River
side drive; Arthur Brisbane, Iina
Strauss, GEORGE GOULD, ELH.
GARY, SAMUEL UNTERMYER,
GEORGE W. PERKINS, JAMES
SPEYER and the H. O. Shepard Co.
of Chicago.
Gould is a railway magnate, Gary
is head of the Steel Trust, and Per
kins is a director in both-the Steel
and Harvester trusts. Gary is pres
ident of the Steel Trust and both he
and Perkins are on the FINANCE
committee.
The FINANCE committee of the
Harvester Trust consists of EL H.
Gary, Geo. W. Perkins, Charles Deer
ing and Cyrus H. McCormlck.
Gary is chairman of the finance
: committee of the Steel Trust and
Perkins is chairman of the FINANCE
jmmittee of the Harvester Trust.
J. P. Morgan & Co. are fiscal
agents of both trusts.
James Speyer is a Wall street mag- ,
nate. Lina Strauss is the wife of
Nathan Strauss. I
Anyhow, it would seem that Willie ,
Randolph Hearst is on friendly finan
cial terms with Wall street and the ,
Interests.
Hearst's other magazines are Mo
tor, Cosmopolitan, Motor Boating,
Good Housekeeping and Harper's .,
Bazaar.
WORRY. Worry is the great t
American habit. As a national pas
time baseball is a poor second.
Our peculiar civilization makes it
chronic. We are the champion wor
riers of the universe.
The African is happy; oriental fa
talism prevents a dissatisfaction with
the Asiatic; the European, in peace, (
is usually content.
But we worry because Jones next ,
door has an automobile. Our breth
ren of the other continentals would ,
merely accept Jones as a superior be
ing and let it go at that. We don't.
So we go on worrying because
Jones has an automobile, because ,
Mrs. Jones has a new gown and be
cause we may have some trouble
scraping together the money for next
month's rent and food bills. And we
know all the time that worrying
wont ever get us the motor car, the
gown, or ,py the rent; in fact, it
takes"away whatever little joy there ,
might he in living.
We know that it impairs our
health, destroys our efficiency and.
spoils our chances- of ever attaining
anything.
Yes, worry is a great thing for
doctors and undertakers!
